Taking advantage of a rare day with no meetings to plan our summer staff training / development! Easily one of my favorite projects of the year. Only 71 days until Science-U starts! 🔬👩‍🔬

Happy belated Star Wars day and 3rd birthday to Chewie 😻💫

Everyone meet my nephew, Yoshi. 💚

The combination of Park Forest spraying sticky insecticide via helicopter and the 24 hour car wash being closed was a brutal situation to face first thing this morning. 🥲

Happy to share that our "Nature Explorers" Science-U summer camp will be expanded this year thanks to a PA Department of Environmental Protection Environmental Education Grant! 🌳 The kiddos will now collect real water AND air quality data scientists can use! 🍃

Science-U summer camp staff training starts this week! 🎉

Thank you to Graduate Women in Science / GWIS State College for inviting me to speak at your national conference this week!

Another year of Nature Explorers Science-U summer camp means another visit from a tarantula 🥳🕷️ Thanks for coming, Penn State Entomology !

Thrilled to share that I have been accepted into the first cohort for Penn State's new online Doctor of Education program! I will begin in the fall alongside my current role as Director of the Eberly College of Science Office of Science Outreach. 📚 psu.edu/news/world-cam…

My car getting put in parking deck jail was not on my bucket list today. #trappedatwork

Update on the Eisenhower Parking Deck sinkhole. They’re having us move our cars ten at a time. Stay tuned for how long the wait time for me is. 🥰

An hour and a half later and I’m out! Many others still waiting. I almost worked from home today, but figured I’d be more productive in the office. Moral of this story: stay in bed.

Just going to leave this screenshot from Reddit here. 👀

Now that I started my doctorate program I have successfully evolved into my final form: iPad note girly. ✨

Red tailed hawk outside of Ritenour this morning!

Had so much fun with this Penn State Eberly College of Science crew at the Whitaker Center’s 2023 Space Day event! So grateful for my partner in crime Caitlin Teti and the wonderful outreach team and student volunteers who helped share science fun with more than 300 Harrisburg community members today!

Space Day was out-of-this-world! A sincere thanks to NASA Bob “Farmer” Hines for his kindness and generosity, to Penn State Eberly College of Science for their educational partnership, to TE Connectivity for their valued sponsorship and to all of our staff, volunteers and guests who made this day possible!

When we take our show on the road, we make it big. 🔥 Check out Josh showing off why rocket fuel has hydrogen and oxygen at Space Day at the Whitaker Center! 🚀 Science-U Penn State Eberly College of Science 📸Whitaker Center
